<\/p>\nLice! This scourge of primary schools that plagues children every year, and the problem is getting worse as these uninvented guests become more and more resistant to chemical products. Learn here how to use Essential Oils effectively against lice, since they have shown they work and that they are used by many anti-lice shampoos.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s begin with taking a picture of what lice are and their regular invasions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We wonder why some children get infested by lice as soon as they are out in the open or as soon as they return to school\u2026 Unfortunately, many repellents or treatment products against these parasites are not working and some are even harmful because they damage hair. Natural products too, seem to be just as useless.<\/p>\n
There are 3 morphological stages for a louse:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It is a highly contagious infection that is transmitted from head to head particularly fast in children when they are together by direct contact or indirectly, especially in summer when they return to school.<\/p>\n
Lice are not a sign of a lack of hygiene, on the contrary, because lice prefer a dry environment, fine, non-oily and clean.<\/p>\n
The spreading of lice is enhanced by close contact between children and the quality of their hair (fine). It is particularly targeted therefore to children between the ages of 5 and 11.<\/p>\n
Lice do not jump, do not fly (they have no wings\u2026), do not swim very well but wet hair favours transmission which occurs more often at home than at school since children have closer physical contact with each other at home when they are playing with their friends or siblings.<\/p>\n
They are therefore transmitted from head to head but also through the intermediary of some object that has been in contact with the scalp: hairbrush, comb, hat, soft toys.<\/p>\n
The fashion of selfies could be favouring the transmission of lice. Indeed, when taking a selfie of several people together, they generally are very close together, especially at the head’s level to ensure everyone is in the photo. This is a sure recipe for passing on these little creatures.<\/p>\n
Symptoms?<\/strong><\/p>\n Since lice are hard to detect with the naked eye, they can be detected through the symptoms they present. Indeed, when an infestation of lice occurs, strong itches become evident in general 2 to 6 weeks after contamination.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The important thing to remember to get rid of lice: the duration of the treatment. You cannot do with just one application of the lotion, the shampoo or the anti-lice mask.<\/p>\n You have to repeat it several times over several days, even if it is unpleasant\u2026 And also, it will be necessary to treat at the same time, all things that are suspect in the home (beds, sofas, sheets, hats, caps, etc\u2026).<\/p>\n Several studies have been made of lice-infested heads to see if specific EO could kill the eggs and insects together. The results show that 1 to 2% of Tea Tree<\/a> EO and Fine Lavender<\/a> EO act successfully even on the eggs and up to 68.3% could be eliminated after just one application.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As prevention:<\/strong><\/p>\n 30 drops of Super Organic Lavender<\/a> + 30 drops of Tea Tree<\/a> EO in a 5ml bottle<\/p>\n Usage:<\/span> Children from the age of 6 onwards and pregnant women from the 2nd trimester onwards, without going over 21 days of treatment<\/p>\n In treatment:<\/strong><\/p>\n Usage:<\/span> Children from the age of 6 onwards, forbidden for pregnant women and people suffering from epilepsy.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n For the shampoo<\/strong><\/span>, mix in a bottle:<\/span><\/p>\n For the treatment oil,<\/strong><\/span> mix in a bottle:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Usage:<\/span> Children from the age of 8 onwards, forbidden for pregnant women and people suffering from epilepsy.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jojoba<\/a> VO \/ Coconut<\/a> VO<\/strong> Lavender EO<\/a> Versatile EO, it is beneficial because of its calming and soothing action if the scalp is irritated. It will eliminate insects and parasites, making it therefore ideal in the fight against lice. It also stimulates hair growth. Furthermore, it is one of the best essential oils against lice.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tea Tree<\/a> EO<\/strong><\/p>\n Interesting EO because lice abhor its odour. Excellent antiseptic oil, it will ensure that any lesions or bites become infected.<\/span><\/p>\n A study carried out in 2012 by scientists belonging to a variety of scientific bodies in Italy has shown that lice treated with Tea Tree EO in a 1% concentration resulted in a 100% mortality rate after 30 minutes. It was noted that their death was the result of an intestinal rupture. Unfortunately, the same result did not apply to the slows. Their death rate was only 50% after 4 days of observation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n To hunt down lice in bedding, clothing, etc.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n OR<\/span><\/p>\n Fill the container with water to the top<\/p>\n Spray on the bed, sheets, pillows\u2026<\/p>\n Conservation: maximum 1 week away from light and heat\/<\/p>\n <\/p>\n – The favoured places for lice to make their home are the neck and behind the ears: give these areas particular care when combing.<\/p>\n – Think of treating all areas where lice can hide.<\/p>\n \u2013 Wash bedsheets on a disinfection cycle if your washing machine has one, or key in a long programme at 90\u00b0C.<\/p>\n \u2013 Wash and dry all soft toys and place them in the freezer to eliminate all lice that could have made their nest inside them (none will survive 24 hours in a freezer).<\/p>\n \u2013 Avoid head-to-head contact<\/p>\n \u2013 Avoid sharing hats, caps, napkins\u2026 etc.<\/p>\n \u2013 Add a few drops of Tea Tree EO to your shampoo (once again: they don\u2019t like the smell).<\/p>\n \u2013 For long hair, keep it plaited or in a ponytail.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n source;doctipharma.fr<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lice!
